At the Annual Meeting, mine sth inst., the following were s ome of the leading results disclosed in the Report to the shareholders. FIRE BRANCH. The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum of £341,663 Being an advance of 40,977 over 1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre. Ilona year. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was. £75,993 Ditto (Litt°, 1883 88,966 Showing an Increase In one year of .... ...... £12,973 Among the incidents which have tended to the advance- Znent of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned Its action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although out) , con Astent with the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti tnately proved to be no more than what had been done in for /tier times by the o dest and most proverbially honourable among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public favour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been attained in the present year, so it PPens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the '-'lrectors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an to&T balance of net profit on the year appoud 4 S - 83,5 15 ;Of which sum LH, ICO only has been ropriated ..0 Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan.e of £49,414 been tarried to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New -151111iness transacted in th e last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In- Comp effected, show clearly h i s a t in which the , ss repany is held. The following is a statement for the last "'" Years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums. 1859 1860 1861 1862 1863 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re- Telved in the course of five years, may justly be considered as girger than any which could have been reasonably expected. he rst half of the current ear 1864 however, fars th e ra fi tio of increase indicate d by the , figures jut quoted, outsttip as I 'ne sum assured for that period of six months only actu a ll y exce eds Half-a-Mil.ton sterling. tfte ab re ihe rate of Mortalit, still hly favour e featus, and augurs likewise well for the result resents to hi b g e shown by t he p re y investigation, which is to take place when ,te present year is concluded.

PRICE.--....4d. STAMPED,....Sd. Enlisting in the Confederate Navy—The Georgia. The woman streaked right into the house and brought me out a piece of bread and a bone with a little meat on it, and said they should not ax anything from a good faithful nigger. The man said the news was grand,and then ho told me to go up the very road I had just come down, and I started, but only went on till I saw him go into the house, and then turned and went softly the other way, eating as I went along, and trying to be thankful to the man for his good intentions, Then about the Ist of May I began to go about at night to try to find where the Secesh pickets were, so as to watch for a chance to get on to Port Royal. One night I came down to Fort Royal Ferry and hid myself in a ditch—l did not know it was a rifle pit— close to the causeway. I had not been there more than two minutes before two pickets came and sat down within five feet of me, so near that I could hear every word they said. Then I thought my time had come. But they went to sleep after two hours, and I crawled away, and was getting ready to go in for a swim to the Yankees. All at once a picket started up from the bulkhead and sung out Who goes dare ?' I answered ' A friend,' and turned and ran. He did not fire, but shouted to the other picket to stop me, but be fore they were aware of it I was clean gone. So I found it was of no use to try to get over that way, and concluded to try another. I got an axe and knife, and I cut a lot of rushes, and went to work in the wood and made this boat. It took me two days to weave it after the stuff was all ready. The pitch I got by cutting into a tree and catch ing the gum. The old shutter nailed on to the bottom of my boat came from Dr Fuller's house. It was three miles to the water, and I carried the basket alone on my head in the dark night for fear of pickets. It was so late in the night when I got all ready to start on the creek that I did not get down to the Coosa till daybreak, and so I landed on a little h ammock close by the mouth of the creek, and hid the boat and myself for another day. But before 9 o'clock next night I put out and paddled over to Port Royal, too glad to get away. The Yankee picket was not asleep, but challenged me before I got over near the shore, and I told him right off I was a runaway nigger coming ashore for freedom I The Sesesh picket heard me, and after I got up the bank he hailed across Yanks, who you get ?' Yanks say, ' One your fellows." What you going to do with him ?" Don't know; what you think best?' Out him up for fish-bait; he is good for nothing else.' " Jack will prove him a false prophet. I would ask if, Jack Frowers is not as worthy of freedom as his former owner, Dr Fuller—ay, as any other human being on God's round earth. He has shown the pluck, the grit, of an Anglo- Saxon—the perseverance and heroism of a true, genuine, and noble man. --- - CROWN PROSECUTION AGAINST LIVERPOOL MERCHANTS. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.

Th i e ,he T i tt o p l a lo n win w g as off the French coast we fell in with a small ateamtug, which we took in tow. We went with her to llrest, where we came to an anchor. In the evening we hauled alongside of the small steamer, and all night we were engaged in taking on board trona her stores and gun s). powder and shot. Mr Jones was on board at the time. When Lieut. Maury came on board he put on the uniform, of the Confederate States, and then all hands were called down into the cabin. I saw Mr Jones there at the time. He was standing at the time with Lieut. Maury, who tc , ld us that the ship was going to sail under the Confedergtte flag, and said that if we would go with her he would giv e us £4 lOs per month, £lO bounty. A number of us accepted the terms and signed articles. The Confederate flag Ras hoisted at night, and we left the coast of France, and went on a cruise as far as the Cape of Good Hope. We took and sunk several vessels while we were flying the Confederate flag. We returned to Cherbourg about the month of Octo ber, and afterwards I came to Liverpool on leave of absence. I went to Messrs. Jones and Highat's office, where I saw Mr Jones. He asked me how I liked the Georgia, and I told him I liked the:vessel very well. On one occasion I told Mr Highat, and he asked me if I belonged to the Florida. I told him that I belonged to the Georgia, and he then said that he wanted to send us back to the Georgia, and that we were to go by way of Dover. I asked him for a month's half-pay in advance, and he told me to come back at three o'clock, and bring my wife's signature. I did so, and re ceived my half-pay, and was told to be down at the Havre boat on the following Monday evening about eight o'clock. On the Monday I went down to the Havre boat, and £3, part of a month's pay, was given to me by a man named Wilding, a clerk of Messrs. Jones and Highat's. I did not go to Cherbourg again. I refused to go. I served as a potty officer on board the Georgia. Cross-examined by Mr Temple, Q.C.—When I came to Mr Jones's office and represented to him that I had got leave of absence I wished to go back again, I went down to the Havre boat on the Monday and got the money, and then I walked away. I had changed my mind beforo I went to the boat. I had seen the American consul at Liverpool before I went down to the boat and got the £3. Mr Temple—Who took you to the American consul? Witness --A man named Maguire. Is he a detective ?—I believe he is. When I was before the American consul he told me that I should have the same, money on shore that I had had on board the Georgia,. Maguire was to belay paymaster. I was to do nothing but. walk about in Liverpool (a laugh). After I had seen the. American consul I went down to the boat and got the £3. I went to Messrs Jones and Highat after I had seen the American consul and received money from them. I received money from both the American consul and Messrs Jones and Highat. Maguire told me to go to Messrs Jones and. Highat, and ask them to give me money. I have been. walking about site.: the time I left the Georgia. And receiving l9s 4d a month, I believe, from the Ameriean Consul ?—Yes. . Several other seamen who had also been similarly en gaged, and sailed in the Georgia, were next examined, and corroborated the last witness's statements. The wives of several of the men were also examined, and deposed to re ceiving the Louuty and the half-pay from Messrs Jones and Highat. Mr Temple and Mr Brett, for the defendants, contended that there was no case, as Elie enlistment, it any, was out side the British dominions, having been at Brest, conse quently not within the meaning of the act. His Lordship overruled the objection, but consented to take a note of it. The learned Counsel for the defendants having addressed the jury, a verdict of guilty on all the counts was returned. Judgment was deferred, pending the case being taken to a higher court on the objection raised. The Yorkshire Moors, The shooting season promises to be the most sue• cessful that has occurred for many years past. In. deed, the oldest sportsmen admitted that they never saw so many birds, and the result has been that very large bags indeed have been made. The open ing day, the 12th, was all that could be desired, warm, with but little wind, and brought out large numbers from all parts of the country. The birds, in some instances were a little wild and strong, but on the whole they were large and in fine condition, and lay well for the gun. Among the principal bags on Friday was the parry of Mr Stanhope, consisting of four guns, who got 83 brace in a short time on the Dunford-bridge side. On the grounds of Sir Lionel Pilkington, the birds were very nu. merlons ; Mr S. W. Hague killed 44 brace, Mr A. li, Sidebottom, 221. and Mr A. Athorpe, 191 brace. On Saturday, on the same ground, Mr. Hague knocked over 14 brace, in the two hours preceding luncheon, Mr Briggs and two guns on the adjoin* ing ground killed 25 brace in a few hours, and on Saturday 12 brace up to one o'clock. At Medhope stonos, Mr W. H. Peacocke killed S - brace and Mr. C. Wright 171 brace. On the other moors the ' sportsmen were equally lucky, Mr H. Miller, jun., killing 24 brace, Mr H. Miller, sen., 19 brace, Mr Robert Lorby and Mr T. Garside 12 brace each, Mr H. Rollin 16 brace. Mr J. Chapman was also very successful, and with his party made very large bags. On Cadman's Moor, Mr S. Jessup knocked over 32 brace ; higher up Mr T. Vickers bagged 251 brace, Mr W. Waterfall 25, 1 i, and several other gen tlemen from 20 to 23 brace, The late rains, aid though not to any great extent, have made the ground good for those on the moors, it being quite elastic to the fo o t.

UPON KEEPING ONE'S WORD.-Sir William Napier was one day taking a long country Walk near Freshford, when he met a little girl, about five years old, sobbing over the broken bowl; she had dropped and broken it in bringing it back from the field to which she had taken her father's dinner in it, and she said she would be beaten on her return home for having broken it; then, with a sudden gleam of hope, she innocently looked up into his face and said, " But yee can mend it, can't ee ?" My father explained that he could not mend the bowl, but the trouble ho could, by the gift of a Gil to buy another.

The Thames Embankment and the Conser. vators of the Thames. In consequence of a mi sunderstanding having arisen be tween Mr G. Furness (the contractor for the construction of a part of the embankment) and the Thames Conservators relative to the quality of the material dredged from the bot tom of the river for the purpose of filling in behind the em bankment "tall, a correspondence has ensued between them and the Metropolitan Board of Wor ks, the result of which has been that the board has sent the following letter and notice to the conservators : " Spring-gardens, sth August, 1834. " Sir,—l am directed by the Metropolitan Board of Works to acquaint you, for the information of the Thames Conservators, that, upon receipt of your letter of the 29th July, enclosing a copy of a letter addressed to the conser vators, on the 2'2d of that month, by Mr George Furness, the contractor for a portion of the Thames Embankment works, in relation to the supply of gravel, diedged from from the river, for filling-in behind the Thames Embank ment wall, and the reply of the conservators thereto, dated July 29, to the effect that the conservators were of opinion that all future communications on the subject should take place between the metropolitan board and themselves. Mr Furness was communicated with in reference to the matter, and, in reply, he has stated that he has, for g s e b3 m p e p r: l rec canb e e iv e i o n Me to with th e conservatory, n u t n e r s t al o for me filling f3a t is. f t a h e e t ory present , arr a n in behind the Thames Embankamneyntm, for the following reasons :—That the conservators do not supply him with the best of the deposit dredged from the river, but that this is sold to other persona and used for building and other purposes, and that he is supplied with the inferior deposit only. That for this he is charged 6d per yard, whilst Messrs Hunter and English are willing to sup ply him with the same description of material, raised from the river, at the rate of 4id per yard, the cost price to them being about 31d. That a very large proportion of the light and inferior material supplied to him is washed out of the embankment into the river, and that he has applied to the reservoirs to make a deduction for such loss, and to charge him a fair price for that which re mains in the embankment, but that the conservators have declined to treat with him upon that or any of these points, or in any way to recognise him. That if he is charged 6d per yard for the material, and has to barge it to his works at a cost of 6d per yard, and to pay 4d per yard for unloading, making together is 4d, and if half of this is washed away, the cost to him for forming the bank will be 2s 8d per yard, and that he could not carry out his contract upon these terms without very heavy loss. That, under the circumstances, he proposes to suspend fill ing in behind the embankment until he shall have completed the wall in front, when the material will be prevented from being washed into the river, and he will then be prepared to receive any amount of good deposit which the conservators can supply at a fair price. At the same time he expresses his readiness now to receive the deposit from the conserva tors if they will take the foregoing matters into considera tion in a fair and reasonable spirit. " The board desire me to request that you will be good enough to bring under the notice of the coneervatots these facts, which they feel sure will receive due consideration. " I am also to state that the board are most desirous of carrying out not only the letter but the spirit of the Thames Embankment Act, and as the conservators have de clined to treat with Mr Furness on the subject, they have sealed accompanying notice, containing their formal request, under ea) provisions of the Embankment Act, for the con servators to dig, Tahie, and take up, from the bed of the river, and to supply to the several contractors, Mr Furness and Mr Ritson, the material for the purposes of the em bankment, the board reserving to themselves the power to reject any portion which in their judgment may be unfit for the purpose. " I am further to state that, with a view of giving the fullest effect to the request, I have, pursuant to the board's instructions, apprised the contractors, Mr Furness azed Mr Ritson, respectively, of the same, and required them to use all material which may be so supplied, and to do all in their power to enable the conservators to comply with the board's requisition.—l am, B c o .l (Signed) "Joltst POLLAUD, Clerk of the Board.

The notice referred to in the foregoing letter was as fol lows : " To the Conservators of the River Thames, their " Secretary, and wh om it may concern.

The French and edltnaulimsnezuewasp apers have during th e p as t fortnight par agrap h s s t a ti ng t h at the Tunisians c have o up effigies of the Fr e n c h C onsu l General and an orderly offi cer of th e Emperor Napoleon as targets for Minis rifle and Colt' s revolver practi ce . W e fortunately have it in our pow er to give the whole of th ese n ta been setting statements a flat denial. The re is no better foundation for unis wouldke forthwithat °r ice rouse himself from his state such measures as the the statement that the French G overnment had sent out orders that "its all-powerful prote ct i on would be withdrawn unlesst of inertia heßeyof T and take lamentable state of things so imperiously call for! , The counsels of an equally s s r ,, -- nil: nation have happily prevailed with the Bey, and, thank to his own firmness, and the preaching of the Ulema, vv h_ u are listened to by the Arabs with profound . attention, the prediction that no ma terial change was to ee hoped for until a French and Italian armed force was landed has haw -.3' not come to pass. The Arno, Italian mail steamer, Which arrived on Tues.. day night, brings ns important intel l igence from Tunis to the Ist of August, announcing the termination of the insur rection. The chief mover in it, Ali -u en Gdahem, has not only accepted the amnesty g:anted -3? the B ey , b u t even retired to his tents, after signing a do cument to the effect that he rests fully satisfied with the di minution of the taxes. The large Arab mounted force headed I, - him have all dis persed excepting 14 notables or chiefs) and 400 Sheiks or a elderdeputatis, of 16 on or out representative bod the amount of future imposts and the mode of levying them. The only person who may Poss ibl y attempt t o h old one is a certain Mansour Ben Dahr, who formerly fled to Algeria, after committing two murders, and who killed five other persons friends of the murdered men, whom he met during his flight. On the breaking on', of the revolt he returned to his tribo, but only contrived to place himself at the head of some marauders intent on pillage. From a person pos sessing neither power nor influence, and enjoying not even credit with his own tribe, not much has to be feared. The natives of the villages in the provinces of Susa, which furnished 2,000 recruits, most of whom have deserted, fear ing that punishment to which their disloyalty and treachery have subjected them, resolved on taking possession of the town of Susa, proclaiming the Sultan of the East, and de posing the reigning Tunisian family. The inhabitants, however, hearing of this determination, took such prompt and energetic measures to defend the town that it is confi dently hoped the villagers will be frustrated in carrying out their project. The other seaport towns of Sfax, Mehdiah, and Monastier are quiet, as are the interior towns of lier znan and lieff, but not so Slas and Ouled Said, where the revival of an ancient feud has given rise to fighting among the Arabs themselves. From 30 to 40 have been slain on either side. The Bey will now have 6,000 regular troops, besides the Arab contingent, free to act against the few outstanding insurgent and disaffected tribes, and with such a force, and the known fact that the Sublime Porte has offered him 25,000 mounted Bashi-Bazouks, and if more be necessary an Et7YPtioll force (rendering totally urizecenary either krench r Italian intervention),:order will very soon be firmly re established. There are some foreigners at Tunis who affect not to believe in the reconciliation of the Bey with the revolted Arab tribes of the interior of the Regency, while others, for motives best known to themselves, are sadly and grievously disappeinted at the pacific termination which affairs have taken, without their proffered assistance. We subjoin, in confirmation of our own correspondent's intelligence, the translation of an official despatch to the Bey, from General Sy Ismail, commanding the Expedi tionary Corps, which gives the lie to the statement in the Italian papers that he had returned from Tenourba under tho pretext of illness, leaving his force of 3,000 men and a park of 12 guns hemmed in by the insurgents. This letter bears a date equivalent to July, 1864, and is thus worded : "I beg to inform your highness that at this moment the Sheiks Sy Moustapha Ben Azouz, El Hadj Mohamed el-Sadik, and Sy Ahmed Ben Abd-el-Melek, together with about 400 horsemen, the chiefs of the tribes Dreed, Ouled Sidy Abid, El Arab, Wergha, Sharen, Hama mesa, Doutan, Gendouba, Ouled Yacob, Zegalema, Tuabaa, Ouled Ayar, Uerten, Ouled Ben Salem, and Meggiar have arrived at the camp to treat with us respecting the termina tion of their affairs, as well as that I may solicit your High ness to forgive them from your heart, in addition to the amnesty which your Highness has already granted, in obli vion of their errors. With regard, however, to Aly Ben Gdahem, the ringleader of the revolt, and those of his tribe (the Meggiar) who were with him, they have withdrawn to their abodes, after his having declared to the two Sheiks, Sy Mohamdd Ben Azouz and Sy Ahmed Abd-el-Maret, that heneeforward. he will not interfere in anything regarding the tribes, and he has given a document to that effect under his hand and teal to the two venerable Sheiks above men tioned ; and that sines he has obtained an amnesty, as well as what it has pleased your Highness to grant by way of diminution of the tax imposed upon them, and which has caused their agitation, he will never again do anything which will disturb the peace. The above is the substance of his words, and hereafter we will inform your Highness of any future occurrence." Letters from Ali Ben Gdahem have also been received apologising for what has occurred, and saying that circum stances and necessity compelled the Arabs to take this course, and that many people had written him to urge him, and he could not avoid seconding their wishes without any desire of his own. In short, his words show the sincerity of his conversion and repentance for what he has done. With respect to himself, he sags he is a Sheriff (descendant of the Prophet) and a religious man, and that it is not in his character, nor in the character of those who side with God, to misguide the people, and other words leading to purify the afflicted heart. Story of a Black Refugee, A correspondent writes from the Federal station at Beaufort, South Carolina, in June : On the Ist of the present month there came into our lines at Beaufort, South Carolina, a short, stout, thickset negro man, black as night, with not a drop of white blood in his veins, bat with unmistakable intelligence in every feature, a countenance radiant with good-nature, and whose shrewd observations and remarks would have done credit to the intellect of the best specimen of the Caucasian race. He landed from a primitive boat, not made of " bulrushes," but from a coarse kind of grass, which had first been twisted into a' rope of 1f inch in diameter. To keep this rope together, it was bound round, or, as the sailors would term it, served, with other grass. This rope was plaited together as I have seen door mats, beginning in the centre, and building out to form the foundation or floor, then up to form the aides. It was five feet four inches in length, three feet four inches broad, and one foot six inches in depth—measuring from the top or bulwarks of the boat. On the bottom, or inside floor, to keep it from collapsing, there were three pieces of pine wood. There was an old shutter on the outside, or under neath, on which the boat was fastened. Inside and outside it was pitched, to keep it water-tight. The man gave his name as Jack Frowers, stating that he was born the slave of Dr. Henry Fuller, of Beaufort, S.C., now of Baltimore—a man who was among the foremost to take South Carolina out of the Union, but who was too shrewd (or something else) to continue with secession, as by doing so he might lose his " possessions, for he was very rich." It would be hard to convince Jack that his master is not a secessionist still, or his 15 brethren lent to Elder Holley for their victuals and clothes till the war is over. Jack spent most of his life on one or the other of the doctor's plantations near Beaufort, always working as a field hand. He does not know his age, but I should judge him to be 45. The noble fellow would not make his age an excuse for not fighting for others' freedom. He has enlisted in what was formerly the Ist S. C. Coloured Regiment (Colonel liigginson), now known as the 33d IT. S. C. T. I give Jack's narrative in his own words, as written down by Mr Judd, omitting such passages as would implicate Jack's assistants. Two years ago now the doctor sent me and 16 others to the village of Aikin, 125 miles back, where the country is all broken up into hills and valleys, where we were to work for Millidge Holley, who was to keep us, the doctor told us, till the war was over—he (Holley) giving us victuals and clothes. About the 15th of May, 1853, I started off one dark night to get to Beaufort ; took only a blanket and pair of pants, and travelled as hard as I could till almost morning, and then hid in the swamp. I was disturbed and frightened by the cry of bloodhounds coming on my track. To get away I had to cross the swamp and double on them, going towards Augusta. But they kept the scent, and chased me all day, though I went across /brooks and swamps ever so many times. So it was 12 o'clock at night when I got to the bridge of Augusta, though distant about 16 miles from Aiken. At the far end of the bridge is a gate where the guard stands post ; and when I came to him he asked me where I was from, and I told him from Gardner's Corners, when he said he thought I was lying, and if he knew I was he would surely kill me, for no nigger should run away to the d—d Yankees if he could help it. After that he took me to gaol, and word was sent to Dr Fuller, who sent and told Holley I was in gaol at Augusta, and he had best take me out, and do just as he chose with me, only he must keep me alive till after the war. There were 16 bloodhounds and 12 men after me, as I found out when I got back to Aiken, and they only lost my track at 10 o'clock. Just as soon as Master Holley got me home, he set the dogs to worry and bite me, and the scars on my legs and arms are what they did with their teeth. After he got tired of that fun, he took me to a blacksmith, who put a ring around my an kl e , b en ding the ends in when it was red hot. (A. large scar is all around the ankle, showing th e mark from the burn of the red hot iron.) And then a heavy timber chain was wound twice around my waist, and locked. The chain weighed as much as 501bs„ and was put next to m y skin, and I wore both these derbies tour weeks, and got a hard flogging every day beside. Master Holley himself whipped me, saying he had got me now where he wanted me, and ho would have satisfaction. When he took off the fet ters I was too lame and sick to do anything, and he laughed a t me, telling me I had better 'try again to go t o the -- Yankees.' Since then Holley has kept a guard on all his n iggers, so that we could not get away, watching us so close and treating me so badly that I got completely cowed, and gave it up till the last day of March in this year, when he set me a new task, to go to the woods and cut and split 155 rails, feeding and watering the cattle, 25 head, three times a day, beside doing the housewoman's chores, for a day's work. When I came up at noon, the first day, to get something to eat, the housewoman told me that Mr. Holley would give me GOO lashes because I had not cut some fire wood before I went away in the morning. I said, I can't do more den I can. He's master, au' I slave, and I can't hinder hire.' So after dinner I went down in a little bush, where I could see when Master Holley came home, and, when he did come the housewoman told him what she said she would, and he went off very quick toward where I had been working, but of course he did not find me there ; and so by and by I saw him come back and go into the house. In a little while he came out with his gun, and a sword buckled around him, and whistled for his six bloodhound dogs, who went after him. As soon as I saw that I jump e d up and ran like lightning the other way. When the hounds fairly got on my trail and I heard them, 1 was two miles off, and by crossing little swamps I put them out till an hour before sundown, when I came to a pond and could see the dogs not more than 300 yards be hind me. I tumbled right in and waded out till I could just touch my toes and keep my nose above water to breathe, and the dogs lost me entirely. When Holley and the other men came down to the pondlthey rode all around it, and 1 hoard them say, He can't get away no how, for we can come in the morning, and the dogs will take his scent and find him.' After they had gone I got out and wrung out my clothes, and started by the road direct, and ran and walked all night till I knew I was gone 35 miles from Aiken ; and then at daydawn I got to a pond, and went out on a log that was sticking in the water, and broke down some rushes and bushes enough to lie down on and cover mu up, and there I kept all day, for I was dreadful tired, and most starved, too. When night came I was so weak from hunger that I could scarcely go along; but 1 felt better when I harked and couldn't hear no dogs. So I came on and got a half-mile, when I saw a little house just back from the road, and thought it was a nigger house, and went along up to the door, when a white woman came out and scared me dreadfully. She asked me what I wanted, and I saw I was in for a lie anyhow. So I said, Is master at home ?' and sure enough ho came right out, When he asked me where I came from I told him Pocotaligo, and before he could ask any more I said, We cotched fifty Yankees yesterday down there, and master was so tickled that he let me go up to Barnwell's to see my family.' Then I said I had got off the track and was hungry, and would not he cell ma something to eat, The Orange Riots in Belfast. In a special edition issued on Friday morning, the Nor thern Whig says The rioting, which has been going on every night during the week, culminated to an alarming pitch this morning, and several hand•to-hand fights oc curred between 2 and 5 o'clock. Stones, brickbats, blud geons, and even guns were used—and before the police,who had gone home for the night, came upon the scone, a num ber of houses were wrecked. Several men going to their work were seriously injured. One girl was knocked down and severely maimed by a blow from a policeman's gun— and a man was shot through the leg and severely wounded. At 5 o'clock this morning murder seemed to be the point aimed at by the contending parties. One man was barba rously set upon, and in a few minutes left for dead. A gentleman coming ug had him conveyed to a medical man's establishment. After a minute investigation the doctor pronounced the sufferer in a very dangerous state, and begged of the parties in charge of him to have him conveyed to the Belfast General Hospital. Many other people were more or less injured. The nunnery on the Dublin road has been wrecked. The St. Patrick's Burial Society in Dur ham•street has had every window smashed, and many other private houses have been more or less injured by the mobs. The district is still in a most disturbed state. The workers in the neighbouring factories are out on the streets and cannot be prevailed upon to go to work. There is every prospect of dreadful rioting this evening, and the authori ties are holding a consultation as to what is best to be done to preserve the peace of the town. We understand it is in tended to call out the military." The Whig in an earlier edition of the same day gave the following as to the state of the streets on Thursday night : Yesterday evening the streets in the disturbed districts were in a very disorderly state—more so than on any night dur ing the week. Durham-street to the Boyne Bridge was crowded by people, most of whom had no business there, as they do not live in the locality, but were the riff-raff of every district in the town, who had collected for an hour's stone throwing. The police were present in large numbers. It seems a curious arrangement that the policeshould march or stand at corners in large bodies, when they could be far more effective in putting down disorder by patrolling, two or three together. Some of the local and county police did most effective duty in plain clothes, as, in consequence of the mob not suspecting their business, they were enabled to rush among the rioters and arrest some 20 or 30 of them, which would not have been the case if the fellows had been warned off by the appearance of uniform. The mobs of Belfast are getting even more cowardly than ever, for their mode of warfare last night was to congregate about entries, throw volleys of stones, and then run off. Once or twice the opposing mobs did attempt to meet each other, but their attempts were frustrated by the police, which made them furious, and they turned upon the authorities. Mr Orme, R,M., who was the only magistrate we saw on the spot, was struck with a stone by some cowardly fellow, who after throwing it ran off, and made his escape. Betty een 8 and 9 o'clock the two mobs met, and the police being absent at the time, they sent several volleys of stones at each other. Am munition being rather scarce among the Pound mob, a man was observed to bring a horse and cart, the latter filled with brickbats, and deposit them among the mob, who were thereby enabled to keep up a good fire against the Sandy row party. About this hour the Pound party burned King William in effigy, and we understand a similar demonstration is contemplated to-night, the 12th August being one of the days celebrated as an anniversary by the Orangemen, Of the persons arrested last night about two-thirds belong to the so-called Protestant party, who, when brought to the office, had the appearance of a lit of idle scamps, there no t being a respectable - looking man among them, They will be brought up to the police court this morning. At about 12 o'clock the police were discharged from duty in the dis turbed districts, at that time all being in quietness. How ever, this state of things did not long continue, as at about 1 o'clock the Pound force came down Durham-street in full strength, in order to attack their opponents. The alarm was at once given, and in a very short time there was a strong muster of the Sandy-row party—not, however, until a great number of the houses in Durham-street between College square and Barrick-street sustained very serious injury by the throwing of stones and brickbats. About two o'ctock a number of the local force, .under Chief Constable M'Kit trick, arrived at the scene of action, and were stationed at Mr Collins's Meeting-house. Up till four o'clock no fur ther meeting of, the rioters took place—no demonstrations having been made, with the exception of the firing of guns and pistols from either side, and a few volleys of stones from the Pound mob. Mr Orme arrived about half-past 3 o'clock with about 30 of the constabulary, who were also stationed opposite Christ Church. We may mention that this_was she second time the police were brought from their quarters during the night. In Saturday's edition the same journal says—" The riots in Belfast continued with unabated fury—unequalled by anything we have ever seen in this town. The magistrates did not take the precaution we suggested, of patrolling the streets with police, two and two breast, but placed them at corners in batches of 20 or 30 to stand and look on at the rioters. If this is the object for which the police were sent to Belfast, they might as well not have come at all, for in a guerilla warfare such as took place last eight large bodies of men cannot act properly together• Towards evening the districts generally known as the dis orderly parts of the town appeared to be assembling for a grand encounter. Every street, from Divis-street on the north to the Dublin-road on the south, was in array and ready for the fray. We have seen riots which occurred in Belfast tor the last eight or ten years, and have never seen the people of the two districts more determinedly set fora party encounter. Every artifice of warfare was in readiness-- stones were in heaps—brickbats covered the thoroughfares —crowds of people were at every corner—and nothing was wanted for a great party fight except the absence of the police, who, fortunately for the peace of the town, were present in as large numbers as their arrangement in Belfast could afford, considering that there are not more than 200 men in the town. As stated, the workmen in the various establishments in the neighbourhood of the Pound and Sandy-row districts refused to work yesterday; and the streets were crowded all day by those who sympathised with the unfortunate people who were hurt in the terrible riots of the morning. Some of those then hurt are not likely to recover ; and it was supposed that the agitation caused in the people's mind by the frightful encounters with fire-arms which then took place would lead to dread ful scenes last night. We are glad to know that the pre cautions which the authorities took were successful to some extent. Every policeman and every local constable in the town was drafted to those districts where their presence was required; and, in the middle of large crowds where stones and brickbats were thrown, in which many of them were wounded, they conducted themselves in a most credit able manner —in fact, showing a great amount of patience, considering the abuse which they suffered. Barrack-street, Pound-street, Hamill-street, Durham -street, Divis-street, Sandy-row, and all the streets adjoining the place, were in a regular ferment; nothing could be done in cense queries of the presence of the police, and the wretched cowards attacked ail the passers by they saw. They made a sally from Durham -street to Donegall-square, and attacked the meeting-house of Dr Cooke,breaking every pane of glass in the windows facing Alfred-street, after which they broke the windows of the Methodist church, Donegall-square, the windows in Mr Shaw's meeting-house, Alfred-street, and taking a rush down Arthur-street, broke every window they could find—sparing neither friend nor toe. They broke the windows in the houses of Mr Meenan and Mr Murray, in Arthur-street, Mr Dunlop, Arthur-square,and a great many others, and in their savage fury they struck Mrs Meenan on the head with a large stone while standing at the door of her own house. This mob then ran along Castle-place, and joined their brethren in liing-street. About a quarter to ten last night, a knot of rather decent -looking men came up to the house, 8, Howard-street, the residence of the Right Rev. Dr Dorrian, Roman Catholic coadjutor bishop, and broke the fanlight over the hall door. At the very time some of the Roman Catholic clergy who reside with Dr Dorrian were in the Pound district persuading the popu lace to go home and clear the streets, At ten o'clock a great row occurred in Barrack-street, when the police, with Mr Orme, R.M., and Mr Taylor, J.P., made several arrests. The prisoners, to the number of 11 or 12, were conducted to the station in the middle of large files of police, and will be brought before the court this morning. Yesterday at the Police-court, 23 men who had Leon arrested on the previous night and yesterday morning for riotous conduct were brought up before Mr Orme, KM., and Dr Murney. The street outside the court - house was crowded by the iritiada of the necused, J Wan tiQilwati Was French Theatricals, The first representation of the " Liberte des Theatres" was given at the Varietes on Wednesday evening. It is an amusing collection of incon gruous " quips and cranks and wreathed smiles"— a perfect jumble of drolleries of all kinds. As to the.plot it amounts to nearly nothing; but as there must be some sort of method even in dramatic mad ness we may suppose the story to be this : —An am bitious pastrycook of theatrical proclivities wishes to take advantage of the new law by opening a theatre of his own; but his neighbours, the grocer and the butcher, have formed a similar idea, and hence a comical competition between these and other managers desirous of securing the services of a lot of good, bad, and indifferent artistes assembled in a cafe, who are sold by auction and knocked down to the highest bidder by Mme. Duval, who, armed with a punch-ladle for a hammer, sells off her lots with great vigour. This gives occasion for much drollery, as each artist has to give a speci. men of his or her dramatic or musical powers. The successful competitor starts a Theatre Restaurant, in which the pleasures of the table are en joyed along with those of the drama—each dish being served up with its corresponding artist— soup with the soprano, veel with tue jeune premare, roast beef with the basso, and so on. The piece played before this gormandising audience is "Don Quichotte," windmills, and all, which is interrupted in a pathetic part by D alcines, who has got hungry at sight of so much good fare, and refuses to do more without her dinner. Then follows an opera, the " Violon Enchante," in which M. Nerve as Ca bocino personates an enraged musician as chef d'orchestre in an amusing manner, and Marine. Vernet, en actress of Lyons, plays an air on the violin in a masterly manner ; but the tenor has fallen ill, and so we have a Guignol —the puppete, as large as life, representing in laugbeble style Le maitre, Beauvallet . , and other well-known artistes. Then follows a ballet amidst pretty scenery, with a real fountain in the centre, whose leaping waters are illuminated by electric light in brilliant colours, producing a singularly beautiful effect. After that we have the rehearsal (in costume) of an extrava- gent military melodrama of the old Cirque Imperial kind. The whole ends by a grand ballet in honour of theatrical liberty, in which wt have characteristic dances of all nations. The piece is lively, and, if not overflowing with, is at all events provocative of laughter. For the Opera, M, St. Georges is preparing a grand ballet, " Dan Juan," the choregraphic arrangements to be composed by that master of the art, M. Rota. Madlle. Sax, whose engagement at the Opera ends next year, is about to renew it for five years. The director of the Italian Opera has engaged Madame Penco for the coming season, Zucchini, the well known buffo, and half a dozen tenors, Fras chini,Negrini,Niccolini, Corsi, Baragli, and Naudin. This last, however, is said also to be engaged as tenor for " Vasco di Gama" at the Opera. The Opera Comiquo is undergoing a thorough repair, at the expense, it is said, of some 60,0001 r. and will be opened towards the end of this month, fresh and brilliant, with " Lara," "L'Eclair, and a new musical drama by M. d'Ennery, to be ealled "Les Drames du Cabaret," in which M. Paul Menier is to have the principal role. At the Lyrique, besides M. Legouve's " Deux Reines," and other attractive novelties, we aro to have an opera by M. Brizet, the composer of " Le Pecheur de Perles," to be named " Ivan le Terrible." M. Carvalho has offered a prize for the best opera on the subject of the " Bride of Abydos," to be com peted for by young composers who have each gained the prize of Rome. Mlle. Nilson, a young Swedish soprano, has been engaged for this theatre, and is to appear next month in the " Traviata." Mme. Victoria Lafontoine has met with much success at the Francais in the role of Agnes in the " Ecole des Femmes." M. Sardou, nnappalled by the critical hail with which he has been assailed for not being quite equal to Cervantes, is preparing " Les Pommes du Voisin" for the less ambitious audience of the Palace Royal, in which the chief parts are to be taken by Geoffroy and Mlle. Honorine. At the joyous little Bouffes Parisiens, M. Verne y the late director, has subsided into the office of chef d'orchestre, and M. Mestepes is to be his successor. In the meantime M. Offenbach is getting " covered with laurels" at Ems and other German spas, where he has brought out two new works with success, "Le Soldat Magician'' and "Jeanne qui pleura et Jeanne qui rit." At Baden, M. G. Ilcquet'. new opera, "De par le Roi," has been greeted with equal suceess. A new theatre is in course of erection on the Boulevard St. Germain, and will be opened next month with half a dozen new dramas and operas. The "SociCA"-! du Grand Concert" have com pleted arrangements for converting an upholstery establishment, the Colonnes d'Hercule, in the Rue Richer, into a music-hall, where, under the direr• tion of M. Felicien David and M. Lorbac, the finest music, classical and popular, is to be dispensed to the masses at the charge of one and two francs. This hall is large enough to accommodate 3,000 persons, and the orchestra will ho composed of 100 musicians, assisted by 200chorists. A question is now pending before the law courts as to the right of the " Imperial" theatres to break the engagement of an artist with a provincial theatre and appropriate his services. AM. Lamy had en- :end into a contract to act at Marseilles, and after- wards engaged to play in the " Gendre do M. Poirier," at the Frarr its ; the provincial director protested egaiusl. this breach of faith, but the Luau- agement or the FraLcAis ciaiuru the privilege of en forcing it, and people are curious to know whether d e ,
